Moraine is a treat from start to finish, great variety in the different types of holes and conditioning is always fantastic. Favorites holes are 4th - uphill Par 5, 5th - short Par 3 and 7th - short Par 4. On the back nine, my favorite holes are the 13th - Par 5 and 14th - Par 4 are my favorites. It is in my Top 5 in Ohio, probably Top 3.

The course was built in 1955 and designed by Dick Wilson. It has a very few fairway bunkers in play off the tee on holes 1, 8 and 10. My favorite part of the course are the 3 short holes in a row: Hoe 10 - short Par 4 with a crazy spine running the length of the green, following short Par 5 with a very protected green with bunkers and water, then on of the most difficult holes on the course is short 12th hole. The greens are the star of the show and course has recently been doing some tree removal that has been improving turf quality. It is the best course in Lafayette and 1 of the 5 best in the state.

This is a really good course that stays under the radar. The front nine does not have a Par 5, but still scores high on the fun factor. Holes 4 (Biarritz Par 3), Hole 5 (Bowl Par 4), 6 (Short Par 3) and Hole 7 (Long Par 4) are some of best holes on the front. The back nine starts with a Cape Par 5, followed by the famous Alps Par 4. The course does not come back to the clubhouse until 12 hole, then you play the down hill Par 3 Redan. The greens are always fast and difficult to read until someone tells you the secret that most everything will break towards the 2nd green.
